Abstract: The present disclosure provides a gravity gradiometer which comprises a component comprising a detector for generating a signal in response to a change in gravity gradient experienced by the gravity gradiometer. The gravity gradiometer also comprises a support structure for supporting the component in a manner such that the component is movable relative to the support structure. Further, the gravity gradiometer comprises an acceleration sensor for sensing an acceleration associated with an external acceleration when the gravity gradiometer is exposed to the external acceleration. In addition, the gravity gradiometer comprises an actuator for generating a force on the component as a function of both an acceleration sensed by the acceleration sensor and a response parameter associated with the component. The actuator is arranged to apply a generated force such that transmission of the acceleration from the support structure to the component is reduced.

Abstract: A drink dispenser includes a housing defining a chamber that contains a cooling fluid therein. A refrigeration unit is disposed within the housing.  The refrigeration unit includes an evaporator coil extending into the cooling fluid such that a frozen cooling fluid bank forms about the evaporator coil. An agitator is disposed within the housing. The agitator extends into the cooling fluid for circulating the cooling fluid about the frozen cooling fluid bank. Dispensing valves mounted onto the housing dispense drinks from the drink dispenser. An electronic control system is disposed within the housing. The electronic control system is coupled with the agitator such that the electronic control system cycles the agitator between an agitator on period and an agitator off period. Cycling the agitator between an agitator on period and an agitator off period promotes stable growth of the frozen cooling fluid bank.

Title: Methods and apparatus for use in improving network coverage for voice or data calls
Inventor: MONTEMURRO MICHAEL PETER
IPC: H04B7/15
Filed: 2011-09-07
Abstract: To improve network coverage or reduce false handover triggering, at least one client terminal is set to operate as a virtual access point (VAP) in a first wireless network by an AP controller. If a mobile device detects that a signal quality estimate of communications via an AP of the first wireless network is below a first value, the mobile device performs a handover procedure to the VAP. While maintaining the call via the VAP, if the mobile device detects that the signal quality estimate is back above the first value, the mobile device performs a handover procedure back to the AP of the first wireless network. On the other hand, if the mobile device detects that the signal quality estimate is below a second value which is less than the first value, the mobile device performs a vertical handover procedure from the VAP to a base station of a second wireless network.

Title: Methods for whole-cell analysis of gram-positive bacteria
Inventor: STENDER HENRIK
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2010-05-20
Abstract: This application pertains to methods for the whole-cell analysis of gram-positive bacteria. The methods are capable of making a determination of whether or not a sample (e.g. a clinical sample) comprises one or more select gram-positive bacteria as well as, for example, whether or not none, some or all of said select gram-positive bacteria in said sample, or possibly other bacteria in said sample, possess a select trait or traits of interest. In some embodiments, the methods can be used to determine methicillin-resistant (the select trait) staphylococcus aureus (the select gram-positive bacteria), coagulase-negative staphylococci (another select gram-positive bacteria) and/or methicillin-sensitive staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) in said sample. The whole-cell analysis can be performed, for example, by in-situ hybridization (ISH), fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH), immunocyto-chemistry (ICC), or any combination of two or more of the foregoing.
Patent CA-2764228-A1 (CA)
Title: Hydrodynamic bore seal
Inventor: JUAN ALEJANDRO
IPC: F16J15/44
Filed: 2010-06-03
Abstract: The disclosed finger seals are designed to be operational under rotational velocity or a stationary condition. The contact surface of the finger seals is inclined in an axial direction. This incline causes a convergent leakage path between the finger foot surface and the bore. Therefore, the leakage flow passing through this gap exerts hydrodynamic lift on the finger and lifts the finger from the bore surface at design pressure. Since the slope is in the axial direction, the rotational velocity of the bore does not affect the hydrodynamic lift and the finger seals can operate at any rotational speed, unlike prior finger seal where the hydrodynamic lift is generated by rotational velocity.   Each finger seal is pressure balanced. The pressure chambers on the two sides of each finger seal are connected through the finger cutouts. The finger seal design is such that the fingers lift and move away from the bore surface in radial direction. Therefore, the angle between the finger seal foot and the bore is constant at any lifted distance. In each seal stack up, in one form, each finger seal is designed with the specific required length to allow sufficient surface area for the hydrodynamic force such that the finger seals would be lifted from the bore surface at the design pressure.

Title: Power pack partial failure detection and remedial charging control
Inventor: PATINO JOSEPH
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 2012-01-26
Abstract: Systems and methods to detect a failure of a subset of component power packs within a multiple component rechargeable power pack. At least one parameter of a charging current that is provided for a time duration to a rechargeable power pack is determined. A measured capacity change quantity for the rechargeable power pack during the time duration is estimated. The measured capacity change quantity is compared, after the time duration, to an expected capacity change quantity that is based upon the at least one parameter. A determination is made that at least one component power pack within the rechargeable power pack has failed based on a difference between the measured capacity change quantity and the expected capacity change quantity. A charging current parameter is modified in response to the determining that the at least one component power pack has failed.
